Boys Summer Camp-Serious Question

[Auto]

So.. Want to send my nephew to summer camp next summer. Interested in quality of activities, reputation for safety, quality of campers, and overall experience. I always hear about Mystic for the girls, what is the boys equivalent?

Longhorn (Inks Lake, specifically) is a good one....Georgia has been going for the past ten years. Ozark also a solid choice.

Texas brigades or outdoor texas camps

My son was an archery instructor at the later this summer. It was hosted on a swanky high fence place outside san antonio

Thank you gentleman.

No advice from me

The only summer camp I have ever been to was just across the bay from North Island NAS

Too bad the Boy Scouts went full retard. They once taught some valuable skills to young men.

^^^ This.

Spent many summer days at Urland, Bill Stark, and Tahoya.

A few of the guys I ran with went to the high dollar camps..Longhorn, etc.

My Dad woudn't pay the money to send me to a "country club camp". Looking back, I'm glad I did the BSA route. Sure, they learned how to sail, golf, play tennis, etc. I learned to fish, shoot, start a fire, etc.

Really a shame how the Scouts have been minimalized. It was a good route for low income kids, especially from urban areas, to learn useful skills.

Me too. Learned some skills I still use everyday.

I’m sure they’re are still some good troops out there that don’t have the woke bullshit and teach the young men real skills, but finding a good troop is not something auto can do for his nephew from afar.

Longhorn is a pretty good option for outdoors stuff. It's definitely not a froofroo camp. Cabins aren't air conditioned. They do a lot of water sports (ski, wakeboard, blob/swimming) and shooting is part of it, too. There's no golf, but they do sail a little on the equivalent of a sunfish or something.

Yep... I am trying to get a titty baby with poor parental messaging involved with boys and boy type shit, whether it be tennis, golf, or outward bound type of shit. Something that will be a good time, be safe, generate an interest that is not my sister's, create friendships, and motivation for life. I know, I am expecting to much, but just a spark would be good.

Tough times when $2k/wk doesn’t get you AC

Camp Subiaco. Arkansas.....if they still do it. Catholic camp. Run like the military. If kids have a disagreement, they strap boxing gloves on em. Got my ass handed to me by Roger Staubach's son when I was 10 or 11. Spent 2 days in infirmary
